Some basic map reading training

Trip leader contact emily.willocks@gmail.com

Time: 3.30pm

What: Basic map reading skills, aimed at people who haven't used maps previously. We will look at some topographic maps, basic features they all contain, how to match the map to landscape, and basic compass use. 
The best way to learn how to navigate is to practice, but it helps if you have some base understanding - this is what we will aim to do!
